Sneaky bum time - Vaccination status: dozed off
He was quite the talent in his early years with us. He used to go on these brilliant marauding runs out from the CB position which you don't even see today's ball playing CBs do. It's true that purely as a defender he was never as gifted as, say, Vidic or even Smalling - heading wasn't great for example - but he made up for it by being good on the ball and relentless in his effort and bravery.This is true. There was a period early in his Uñited career when he was excellent. Alas, he has deteriorated with time.
But injuries (and a lack of composure) really did ruin all of that and it's sad that he's become a parody now. Lurking in the backroom shadows at Manchester United in a time of such turmoil does that. Had he left 3-4 years ago he'd be viewed in better light as he did have some good seasons at the club.
